H
aving held various jobs after
graduating from Arkansas City Junior
College in 1949, Bob Adams eventually realized his calling and entered the
ministry in 1972. He has helped change
lives ever since.
Adams retired from the pastoral staff
of the Kansas City Baptist Temple in
2001, but currently is involved in the
church’s Spanish Ministry Fellowship
and the church’s discipleship ministry,
teaching basic doctrines of the faith to
new church members. He founded the
Survivors Internet Ministry, International in 2001 and has watched it grow
tremendously over the past five years.
The Arkansas City native, who has
been married to his wife Helen for
nearly 58 years, had an interest in pursuing a life in the ministry from a young
age. However, he chose a different path
before rekindling his faith.
Adams would have graduated from
Arkansas City High School in 1945,
but he left to join the Merchant
Marines before the hostilities of World
War II ended. After sea duty in four
oceanic war zones, he was drafted into
the U.S. Army and later re-enlisted for
a year.
After his time in the service, Adams
returned to Arkansas City and received
a GED certification in 1947. He then
attended ACJC from 1947-1949.
At ACJC, Adams enjoyed the fellowship with like-minded students and
instructors. He participated in forensics
and speech contests and fondly remembers forensics and speech instructor
Pauline B. Sleeth. Adams also thought
highly of former instructors Ann Hawley, Virginia Weisberger, Alan Maag,
and Paul Johnson.
“They were great,” Adams said. “Being a small school like that they really
helped me.”

After ACJC, Adams and his wife
Helen moved back to Helen’s hometown of Richmond, VA. There, Adams
attended Virginia Commonwealth
University from 1949-1952 and earned
a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. While
at VCU, he studied on a special intern
project at the Virginia Museum of Fine
Art.
After college, he worked as a graphic
artist in the sales promotion department at Mauer-Neuer. He designed
the Rodeo Meats first place float in the
Arkalalah parade three years in a row.
In 1968, Adams and his wife Helen
attended a Billy Graham Crusade
in Kansas City, and Adams’ call was
rekindled. He went on to study off campus courses at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Ill., and the Shepherd’s
School of the Ministry in Kansas City,
Mo.
He went on to serve as an associ-

area. KCBT preachers can be seen on
streaming video at www.kcbt.org.
“Ministering the word of God to
people and seeing lives changed forever
is what I find most rewarding,” Adams
said. “Our lives are wrapped up in the
life of our church.”
partners in five countries. An international counseling ministry of sorts has
developed from the outreach.
“I did not expect this, and it is almost
more than I can handle, but it is so
worthwhile,” Adams said. “I hope to
continue doing it as long as I can.”
Adams and his wife Helen reside in
Mission, KS., and have two children,
Jeff and David. Jeff still serves as the
Senior Pastor at the Kansas City Baptist
Temple, while David is the Director of
Software Training for Xytec and Sony
in Burbank, CA.
After finding out he had colorectal
cancer in 1991 and undergoing operations, chemotherapy and radiation
treatments, Adams assumed the pseudonym, Pastor Bulldog, to hold in front
of people with life-threatening illnesses,
that they can fight their affliction like a
bulldog.
“The pseudonym, Pastor Bulldog came
to me when I first had the options to
give up or fight the cancer,” Adams
said. “The qualities of a bulldog came to
mind, and I developed the concept to
impart to people that those are qualities
needed to defeat illness.”
He was called back to the Kansas City
Baptist Temple to serve as pastor of the
Berean Bible class of around 100 adults
after his son Jeff came to KCBT in 1984
to serve as Senior Pastor.
KCBT has an active membership of
over 3,000 individuals and has spawned

wellness principles from the bible called
“Off My Chest-From My Heart”, and is
distributed to close to 4,000 subscribers
in 35 countries.
“The main thing I do is teach the
biblical principles of wellness,” Adams
said.
His ministry also accepts prayer

october 2006 | marketplace,” Cranford
said.
Cranford felt a special
bond to the project as he
graduated from Cowley
College in 1972, and his
brother, Scott played
football at Cowley. His
parents, Leon and Dixie
live just south of Arkansas City, and his sister,
Debbie, still resides in
Arkansas City.
Steve Cranford, chief executive officer
of Whisper Brand Strategy Consultants, spoke with employees of Cowley
College about the brand strategy his
company designed for the college during the school’s inservice held Aug. 14
in the Robert Brown Theatre.
Cranford’s company came up with
a new visual identity for the college,
which is a tiger-eye, and a new tag line
called “Find the Noise”.
Cranford spoke about what the brand
strategy is intended to do.
“A brand is your promise and how you
keep that promise means everything,”
Cranford said. “It’s as simple as that and
it’s as difficult as that. The process of
brand strategy is finding the compelling
story that you can share with the market place that demonstrates your unique
difference.”
“It has been a deep
pleasure to be involved in
this personally at Cowley
College,” Cranford said. “I am proud to
be a small part of this institution.”
Cranford worked along with the
Cowley College marketing committee,
and interviewed individuals inside and
outside of the college to define the story
of the institution and let the market
know what they don’t already know
about the college.
Sheree Utash, Cowley College Vice
President of Student and Academic Affairs, was pleased with the work done by
Mr. Cranford and his company.
“One of the fist things that Steve
Cranford, owner of Whisper said to
us was “a brand is your promise”,
and he and his company
held true to this throughout the entire
process of our work with them,” Utash
said. “This last year as we have worked
and developed this project Steve has
moved us to think differently about our
brand and our marketing strategies. He
has challenged us to respect and honor
our history while embracing a contemporary and unconventional visual
imagery and branding campaign that I
believe will pay big dividends for the
college over the years.”
The college recently rolled out a
marketing campaign featuring the new
visual identity and tag line in television commercials, theatre advertising,
billboards, newspaper advertising,
brochures, and postcards.
The branding campaign was done to
help the college increase enrollment,
endowment growth and academic
reputation.
“For the marketing team, Steve and
the members of Whisper taught us
to “own our conversation” about our
college’s branding campaign, and that
strategy is not about doing it better or
doing it more; rather is about doing it
different,” Utash said.

october 2006 | Cowley volleyball hungry for another
shot at national championship
The 2005 season was a
banner year for the Cowley
College volleyball team as
they captured its first conference title since 1986, and
advanced to the national
tournament for the first
time in 27 years. However,
a loss to Johnson County in
the national championship
game has the squad eager for
another shot at claiming the
title.
“A lot of us were really upset after losing that game, so I
think they are hungry for it,”
Cowley head coach Joanna
Pryor said. “I think the best
part is having experience
at the national tournament
now, which should give us an
advantage over other teams.”
Cowley returns six players
from last year’s team, including all-American Eliane
Domingos, who was named
the Jayhawk Conference
Eastern Division Freshman of
the Year.
The Lady Tigers also return
setter Marina Tosi, the nations leader in assists, to go
along with middle hitter/
outside hitter Renee Breckenridge and libero Ashleigh
Hurt, who are coming off
solid freshman campaigns
in which they were named
second-team all-conference.
Sophomore Kelsey Talbott
will make the transition from
outside hitter to right side
hitter, while Brooke Brownlee should see more playing
time as a sophomore.
“We have six sophomores
with a lot of experience and
as long as they maintain leadership on and off the court, I
think that this team will mix
well together,” Pryor said.
Joining the sophomores is a
strong freshman class, which

is led by freshman Lilian
Rezende, a 6-foot-1 outside
hitter from Franca, Brazil.
Rezende will hope to help
the Lady Tigers make up for
the loss of two-time AllAmerican Fernanda Domingos, who is now playing for
the University of Alabama
Birmingham.
Pryor likes the versatility of
the freshman she recruited.
Courtney Shanklin, a 5foot-10 freshman, is a good
example of that versatility as
she could be used as either an
outside hitter, middle hitter,
or right side hitter.
“Our freshmen know what
they have to do to play and
they will play any position to
do that. We lost some really
good players, but I think we
have some people that can
step into those spots.” Pryor
said.
Along with Tosi, Pryor
landed another talented setter in Andrea Mitchell from
Bentonville, Ark. “Andrea is
so quick, she seems to get to
every ball and knows what to
do with it,” Pryor said.
The Lady Tigers are also
excited about adding sophomore transfer Stephanie
Walcher into the mix. Walcher spent her freshman year
playing at East Texas Baptist
University, and will be used
as an outside hitter/defensive
specialist at Cowley.
Nikki Winningham, a 5foot-10 sophomore transfer
that competed in track as a
freshmen at Oklahoma State
University, and Valerie Cox,
a 5-foot-11 freshman from
Norwich High School round
out the Lady Tigers squad.
Cowley will once again
play a tough non-conference schedule against several
NJCAA Division I programs,
and will face stiff challenges in the conference and
district. Pryor believes the
difficult schedule will prepare
the squad for the national
tournament. “I think we can
do as well or even better than
we did last year barring any
injuries,” Pryor said.

Mauricio Morales from

Young,
but talented
athletes to lead Tiger cross country teams
Bringing in a pair of stellar
recruiting classes, the Cowley
College men and women’s
cross country teams are
anticipating big things for the
upcoming season.
Fla., area, and Brett Koehn
of Enid, Okla. placed fifth at
the state cross country meet
as a senior. Both Manzanares
and Koehn will be among the
Tigers’ top-seven runners.
The Tiger men return the
defending Jayhawk Conference Eastern Division champion in Dustin Garcia, who
continued the Tigers’ tradition of winning conference
as Cowley has had the men’s
conference champion in all
five years of the program.
Dakota Price and Alex
Werner will also be in the
mix as they are both AllState cross country runners
from Elk City, Okla.
Cowley will add outdoor
track all-Americans Daniel
Maina and Stanley Mugo
into the mix. Maina was the
national champion in four
events during the indoor
track season, and the national champion in two events in
the outdoor season.
“Daniel and Stanley will be
significant additions to the
team,” Cowley head coach
Mark Phillips said. “Daniel
will be one of the favorites
to win a national title and
Stanley will have a chance to
be an All-American.”
Sophomores Johnny Thomas and Ferrien Harris join
Garcia as the only returners
from last year’s squad. Justin
DeClerck also ran track for
the Tigers in the spring, but
will be considered a freshman
“This men’s team has the
possibility to be so much better than the team we had my
first year here, and that team
lost regionals by one point
and finished third at nationals,” Phillips said. “We have
got to stay healthy and take
care of business.”
The women’s team also
has a chance for a special
season as they have doubled
its number of runners from a
year ago.
“My first two years here we
battled to have five women
on the team where as this
year we are starting with 10,”
Phillips said. “We signed
some girls that are really
going to make a difference
for us.”
Patricia Dailey, the lone
sophomore on the women’s
cross country team, will look
to follow up on a strong
freshman campaign in which
she finished third in the
conference and 10th in the
region.
“We rely a lot on Patricia’s
steadiness,” Phillips said.
First ever Cowley baseball
alumni reunion to be held
Oct. 21
Irene Kosgei ran track for
the Tigers last season, but has
two years of eligibility to run
cross country. She has been
working to recover from an
Achilles injury.
Having built one of the top junior college baseball programs in the nation, the Cowley
College baseball team hopes to give former players a chance to reflect on their playing days when they hold the first ever Cowley baseball alumni reunion Oct. 21 at the
Arkansas City Country Club.
“If Irene is healthy she will
definitely be an All-American for us,” assistant coach
RyanTurner said.
The reunion will begin with a round of golf at noon, and will be followed by a dinner
at 5 p.m. and a social hour at 7 p.m. Former players interested in attending the event
and playing in the golf tournament need to contact former Tiger Jason O’Toole at (620)
441-5387 or e-mail him at otoole@cowley.edu.
The Tiger coaches are
expecting big things from
Ashley Cronin, a threetime track state champion
from Stroud, Okla., that
earned all-state honors. They
are also high on Bethany
Schmidt from Kremlin,
Okla., who was a cross country state qualifier her senior
year.
It has been difficult tracking down all of the former Tiger baseball players, so if you
have information regarding former Tigers please send it to otoole@cowley.edu.
Dawn Zimmerman, a track
state qualifier at Belle Plaine
High School, and Ali Jorgensen, a talented half miler,
worked hard this summer
and will be among the Lady
Tigers top-seven runners.
Fellow freshmen Kim Bryant (Arkansas City), Christy
Buller (Goltry, Okla.), Hannah Burr (Brookville), and
Brenna Martinez (Newton)
will also be in the hunt for
one of the top-seven spots.
”We have an incredibly talented freshman group,” Phillips said. “We should compete
to win conference with the
women’s team. We may not
win regionals, but we could
still finish in the top-five or
six teams at nationals.”
Despite the youth of the
squads, Turner is expecting
big things from the teams.
“This year’s teams are
stronger than last year’s teams
all the way down the line,”
Turner said.

Although they did not have

Scott always managed to be

smiles and hellos, but did not
